Add about 6 prawns to the oil and cook for 4-5 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Repeat, in 5 more batches, with the remaining prawns, reheating the oil between batches. Arrange the prawns on a serving platter. Serve immediately with the tahini & mint sauce and lemon wedges.
